About

I am interested in patterns of biodiversity and evolutionary processes generating and maintaining diversity. My current research focuses on the genomics of hybridisation in wild populations of fish species (tilapia) important to aquaculture. During my doctoral research, I focused on speciation, and investigated diversification of the endemic soda lake cichlid fish of Lakes Natron and Magadi in East Africa, using morphology, ecology and genomics.

My Masters research considered ecological factors affecting population structuring in marine systems and used genetic data to infer historical patterns of biogeography and colonisation.
